Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for preparing amidines.
- the present invention relates to a method for producing amidines such as, for example, l,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (from this point of the document onwards indicated in the abbreviated form DBU), or derivatives thereof starting from lactams, such as e-caprolactam and a,b unsaturated nitriles, such as for example acrylonitrile.
- amidines such as, for example, l,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (from this point of the document onwards indicated in the abbreviated form DBU), or derivatives thereof starting from lactams, such as e-caprolactam and a,b unsaturated nitriles, such as for example acrylonitrile.
- DBU DBU is a versatile molecule that lends itself to numerous applications; in fact the chemical reactions in which it can take part are varied.
- DBU is used in the catalysis of polyurethanes, in the pharmaceutical industry, in ionic liquids and in general in organic syntheses.
- DBU 1,8- Diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene
- the industrial production of DBU mainly occurs through three reaction steps.
- e-caprolactam is reacted with acrylonitrile to obtain N-(2-cyanoethyl)-a-caprolactam.
- N-(2-cyanoethyl)-a- caprolactam is hydrogenated to the corresponding amine in the presence of anhydrous ammonia and Nickel Raney catalyst.
- the N-(3- a m i n o p o p y 1 ) - e - c a p o 1 a c t a m is dehydrated by acid catalysis obtaining DBU.
- the industrially most complex step of the synthesis is represented by hydrogenation in the presence of ammonia.
- the catalyst normally used is Nickel-Raney which in its activated form is pyrophoric.
- Anhydrous ammonia is also a toxic gas and requires specific precautions and authorizations for its storage, use and transport.
- the process takes place through the dehydration of amino lactam catalyzed by mineral or sulphonic acids (e.g. p-toluenesulfonic acid) in the presence of a solvent, e.g. Xylene.
- a solvent e.g. Xylene.
- the reaction mixture is heated to boiling, the dehydration water that forms is condensed together with the solvent and then separated; the solvent is refluxed into the reaction flask.
- the patent does not describe the steps preceding dehydration, but refers to the known art.
- the patent EP0347757 A2 describes a method for the synthesis of cyanoalkyl lactams (first step of the industrial process previously described) through the reaction of a lactam and a, b unsaturated nitrile using the same DBU as basic catalyst; DBU can also be used as a solvent.
- the document does not mention the other reaction steps (second and third), but merely refers to the catalytic hydrogenation of the cyano alkyl lactam as per known art; in fact in example 2 the hydrogenation in the presence of Ni Raney and ammonia is described.
- Patent CN101279973 B describes a method for the preparation of 1,8- Diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-undec-7-ene, starting from e-caprolactam and acrylonitrile, in the presence of tert-butyl or tert-amyl alcohol, as a solvent, and NaOH as a catalyst.
- the reaction product of this first step is subjected to hydrogenation in the presence of anhydrous ammonia and Ni Raney as catalyst. After the hydrogenation, the mixture is neutralized with sulfuric acid, the solvent is recovered and the reaction product is subjected to dehydration with water removal, as described in the German patent DE1545855.
- Patent publication CN109796458 A describes a method for the preparation of l,8-Diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-undec-7-ene, always starting from e-caprolactam and acrylonitrile. This time the document no longer describes the hydrogenation step in the presence of ammonia, but introduces an alternative method using hydroquinone, gaseous anhydrous hydrochloric acid, dichloromethane, sodium perborate and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The process is considerably complex with respect to the others described; furthermore, in the face of the elimination of ammonia and Ni-Raney, there is the introduction of a highly aggressive agent (anhydrous HC1) as well as numerous chemical substances.
- anhydrous HC1 highly aggressive agent
- the patent EP0913388 B1 describes a method for obtaining amines by hydrogenation of nitriles without using ammonia.
- the novelty lies in the treatment to which the catalyst is subjected.
- the catalyst (Cobalt Raney or sponge catalyst) is treated with an aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide or, alternatively, the reaction is carried out in the presence of said solution.
- the catalyst, through this treatment, must incorporate from 0.1 to 100 mmol of lithium hydroxide per gram.
- Patent EP0662476 B1 describes the synthesis of bicyclic amidines by reaction of lactones with diamines catalyzed by an acid. The process is carried out in a single reaction step and is followed by purification. The patent also claims the use of these amidines as catalysts for polyurethanes. The synthesis of the DBU is described in example 6 and shows a very low yield of the product, equal to 21%.
- Patent publication CN1262274 A describes a method for the preparation of l,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-undec-7-ene always starting from e-caprolactam and acrylonitrile; the peculiarity lies in the use of a mixture of inorganic and organic bases as catalysts in the first reaction step (KOH and DBU).
- the cyano-derivative obtained is subjected to purification before being subjected to reduction.
- the second hydrogenation step is carried out in the presence of activated Ni (the catalytic form is not defined) as a catalyst but is not mentioned if in the presence or absence of ammonia.
- Dehydration is always carried out in acidic conditions, through the use of p-toluenesulphonic acid, and in the absence of solvent; the reaction is continued for a rather long period, i.e. between 35 and 40 hours, obtaining a yield, for this step, of 74.61%.
- the final cyclization step to give bicyclic amidine is carried out in an acid catalyst, specifically p-toluenesulfonic acid, which is dissolved in the reaction environment and which requires the use of a high-boiling solvent for conducting the reaction.
- an acid catalyst specifically p-toluenesulfonic acid
- This translates into a greater complexity of the production plant and of the process - also in relation to the need to separate the catalyst from the reaction mixture - and in a consequent increase in costs.
- the object of the present invention is therefore the realization of an innovative process for the synthesis of amidines which allows a simplification and a reduction of plant, process and maintenance costs.
- This purpose is achieved through the use of a suitable heterogeneous catalysis in the dehydration/cyclization reaction, with consequent elimination of both the solvent reflux and the neutralization phase of the mixture (necessary if homogeneous catalysis is used, for example with p-toluenesulfonic acid as catalyst).
- an aim of the present invention is the preparation of 1,8- Diazabicyclo-[5.4.0] -undec-7-ene (DBU) (usable in the applications previously described) starting from the corresponding N-(amino-alkyl) lactam, through the use of heterogeneous catalysis and consequent elimination of solvent reflux and neutralization.
- DBU 1,8- Diazabicyclo-[5.4.0] -undec-7-ene
- the Applicant therefore posed the problem of finding a process for producing amidines starting from N-(amino-alkyl) lactams.
- the Applicant has now found a method for the preparation of amidines starting from N-(amino-alkyl) lactams, comprising the dehydration/cyclization of the amino compound to obtain the amidine, which can finally be subjected to a final step of separation and purification to obtain the product in the form suitable for industrial use.
- This method can be carried out in batch or continuously; continuous mode is preferred.
- N-(amino-alkyl) lactams can be prepared using one of the processes described in the state of the art, such as those previously described, or, more preferably, according to the method described in the co-pending Italian patent application entitled “METHOD FOR PREPARING AMIDINE” of the same Applicant, filed on the same day of this application with the number 102021000005321.
- Suitable reduction catalysts are commercial or synthetic hydrogenation systems, based on one or more metals of groups 8, 9 and 10 of the periodic table, such as for example Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, or noble metals such as Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium, Osmium, Mdium or Platinum. Cobalt, Nickel, Palladium and Platinum are preferred. Cobalt and Nickel are particularly preferred. These catalysts can be used in dispersed, colloidal or supported / bound phase, preferably in supported / bound form on inorganic phase with a high surface area, even more preferably in supported / bound phase on silica, alumina or silica-alumina.
- the Applicant has found that it is possible to conduct the synthesis of amidines with reactions in series, eliminating the solvent before the cyclization/dehydration phase and carrying out a single final purification step without the process presenting criticalities, or requiring separation steps of the intermediates of the desired product from the other reaction products, to ensure an acceptable final purity of the desired product and a high yield and conversion into the desired product in each of the intermediate steps.
- This aspect therefore makes it possible to simplify the number of devices to be used and to considerably reduce the complexity of the overall process.
- the object of the present invention is a process for preparing amidines or derivatives thereof of formula (V) starting from N-(amino-alkyl) lactam having the following formula (IV) wherein:
- R1 is H or an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, optionally substituted, having from 1 to 5, preferably from 1 to 2 carbon atoms, and is more preferably H;

- amidine of formula (V) synthesized as described above according to the present invention, can be subjected to subsequent purification with the methods known to those skilled in the art.
- cyclic amidines as defined in formula (V) are also intended.
- the term "derivative of amidine” means any compound obtainable from amidine by reaction with a carboxylic acid, epoxy ketone, cloroformates or diesters of carbonic acid.
- step (A) of the process according to the present invention a controlled catalytic addition reaction is carried out to obtain the compound of formula (III) with high yields starting from a lactam of formula (I), preferably e- caprolactam, and a b unsaturated nitrile of formula (II), preferably acrylonitrile, in the presence of a suitable basic catalyst.
- a lactam of formula (I) preferably e- caprolactam
- a b unsaturated nitrile of formula (II) preferably acrylonitrile
- lactam of formula (IV) is subjected to dehydration to give the corresponding amidine, in the preferred case DBU (l,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene), as described below.
- DBU l,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene
- the reaction mixture coming from the step of hydrogenation, is preferably subjected to recovery of the solvent by evaporation and subsequently to dehydration.
- the derivative amino of the lactam of formula (IV) can be reacted in purified form.
- the dehydration is carried out hot, preferably between 90 and 270 °C, more preferably between 130 and 230 °C, even more preferably between 150 and 200 °C, continuously removing the water produced during the dehydration which operates the cyclization.
- the catalyst is always needed and can be selected from heterogeneous acid catalysts selected from Lewis acids or Lewis acids with Bronsted acid components, such as aluminum oxide (y-AkCk), silico-aluminas (S1O2-AI2O3), earth acids such as lanthanum oxide and zirconium oxide, or heterogeneous resin- based catalysts, such as sulfonated resins or ion exchange resins. Said catalysts can possibly be supported on inert carriers such as, for example, pumice, graphite or silica. Aluminum oxide (y-AkCk), is preferred.
- the main product of dehydration is the amidine of interest of formula (V).
- amidine can be purified through one of the methods already known in the art, for example by distillation obtaining a purity ranging from 95 to 98% by weight.
- the Applicant has therefore surprisingly identified the possibility of carrying out dehydration in the absence of solvent on a solid acid catalyst without refluxing the solvent, in order to facilitate the removal of water, with further simplification of the process and reduction of costs.
- a solvent typically selected from those usable in known hydrogenation reactions to give the intermediate of formula (IV), for example a xylene is not excluded.

- the vapor phase that leaves the degasser is partially condensed in a reflux type condenser, which operates at a temperature of 20-250 °C, preferably 40-150 °C, even more preferably at 60-130 °C; optionally, further condensation can be carried out to recover also by-products that may be formed during the preceding reactions.
- the vapors leaving the reflux condenser are condensed, in another condenser, at a temperature between 2-50 °C, preferably 10-30 °C, more preferably 20 °C.
- the liquid that collects at the outlet of the last condenser is a mixture of solvent and water.
- the solvent, after the separation of the water, can be recycled, while the mixture that comes out from the bottom of the evaporator can be sent to the dehydration step.
- Dehydration takes place continuously in a reactor, called dehydrator, preferably of the tubular type, equipped with a heating system and a condensing system formed by a condenser which condenses most of the water that is produced and which sends the condensates to a phase separator.
- a reactor preferably of the tubular type, equipped with a heating system and a condensing system formed by a condenser which condenses most of the water that is produced and which sends the condensates to a phase separator.

- Preparation 2 Reaction between e-caprolactam and acrylonitrile in xylene. The same reaction described in preparation 1 was carried out by replacing iso-propanol with xylene and making it react for 2.25 h at the end of the addition of the acrylonitrile (70 °C). GC-MS analysis revealed a conversion of caprolactam of 98.6%, a selectivity of 98.3% and therefore a yield in the product of 96.9%.

- the analysis calculated a conversion of N-(3-aminopropyl)-e-caprolactam equal to 94.7%, a selectivity of 99.5% and therefore a yield in DBU of 94.2%.
- Example 2 Dehydration of the amine with heterogeneous acid catalyst without solvent
- the flask was then heated up to 170-180 °C for about 5 h (time at which no more condensate formation was noted); the flask was then cooled and the contents were subjected to GC-MS analysis.
- the analysis calculated a conversion of N-(3-aminopropyl)-e- caprolactam equal to 93.6%, a selectivity of 83.1% and therefore a yield in DBU of 77.8%.
